    Pay for a sprinter driver

    That's not bad. 6 days off per month. 2 days off per week out. Most on this kind of setup only give 1 day per week. Curious tho, what kind of creature comforts do you have in your vehicles for the drivers and is that .40 per loaded or all miles driven before and after pickup? What's the max...

    Owning a sprinter van- being a owner operator

    I would first suggest contacting the VA in lieu if health insurance. If my memory is correct, you might have 10 years of VA medical benefits available to you without a service connected disability. It won't cover eye glasses or dental, but depending on your tax returns, your deductable could...

    Insurance

    Another option is Paypal. I have been using it for over a year now to pay my driver. Never a fee, but when you first set it up for security reasons according to Paypal, for the first few months the options are always instant (via checking account backed by a debit card), or credit card or check...

    Which software for business? Help!

    On the laptop I use Open Office. It's free and the tutorials are great. On the IPad I use Numbers, $9.99 for spreadsheets. Also ibooks, free. You can go as far as setting it up to do your taxes. Sent from my PC36100 using EO Forums

    That Sure Does Seem Expensive !

    That seems a little high to me Dennis. I have the s/t for 42k and the Sprinter for 45k and paying $212 per month. About $700 more per year for both vs your one. Are you with CIS? Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    I need some serious help here Ladies and Gentlemen!

    Check you GPS settings. Make sure you have it set for toll roads and U turns. If you don't have it set for U turns, it will usually take you on a route to make a right turn into your destination. It could be as little as a couple of blocks out of route or miles depending on the del. Location...

    Expedite Solo in a Hino??

    Lot of Hino bashing. I love mine and no problems. If I am going up a hill at 40 mph loaded, I am passing big trucks. Just how fast do you need to pull a hill. No body beats Hino customer service or warranties. I know know folks that can't keep their Frieght-Shaker out of the shop. I'd take...

    Question about fuel surcharge

    60% and 100% of fsc is a good deal. As with any business, you have to use business sense. Like drive smart, be patient (keep your DH low around 15%, 10 or 12% is better). Don't go by your carrier numbers for mileage. They don't add in the DH after delivery to layover. When you add that in, that...

    Cargo Van Pay

    Is the $1 $1.05 the result of 62% of a gross bid or is it 62% of 1$ or $1.05 resulting in .62 to .65 per mile. If its .62 per mile, run away. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Baltimore expediting,newbie

    I live here in Baltimore also. Not to much in the way of expediting companies. You could try Ceva or there are some express companies on the cargo road at BWI. Lot of courier work in the area. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Expediting in new England

    Check with Panther. When I was leased on with them I did a lot of freight in the NE. Mainly Mass, Conn, and some Maine especially the Naval shipyard there. Your best bet, hire a vet! Please.
